P S A T P A E F R F The paper staff issued the Bear Facts monthly this year because of the paper shortage. Once it was even called the Blue Facts owing to the fact that nothing but blue paper ar- rived for us to use. The staff also sponsored the first dance in the school gym for the year-the Superman Swing January 23, following the Liberty basketball game. Joan Hoover was in charge of it and it was a great success. All the money taken in was applied to the Annual fund. Jessie Neuenschwander was editor and John McMullen, the assistant editor. They really had some fun cutting stencils, too. Betty Kay was jokes editor and Ray Springer sports editor. Ray, being on the varsity basketball squad, had an inside on the sports angle. The rest of the commercial class were reporters and typists. Our sponsor was our commercial teacher, Miss Eley, and Miss Glass was our English critic. We thought they cut out lot of jokes. but I guess they knew what was best for the paper. At least it enjoyed quite a large circulation. Thirty-one

HI-Y One of the finest things the Hi-Y has done this year was the sponsoring of the sale of defense stamps. This definitely proves that organizations of this sort are truly Amer- ican, For three weeks in February they gave a dollar defense stamp each week to the boy and girl proving themselves the most courteous. The winners Were picked by an unknown committee selected by the president, Phil Lydy. The first semester the officers' positions were held by Harry Button, president, Phil Lydy, vice president, Arnold Grewe, treasurerg Max Middaugh, secretary. During the first semester the boys had an initiation party at the club house of the Conservation Club at Moser Lake. They invited the Sunshine girls to attend, who had a line time being en- tertained by the boys. The second semester ofiicers were Phil Lydy, president, Alvin Miller, treasurer, Nor- man Young, secretary. The club went swimming at the Y. M. C. A. at Fort Wayne quite often. This year Mr. Geisel was sponsor of the Hi-Y and Reverend Hall was their spiritual sponsor. F. F. A. The F. F. A, was again under the leadership of Mr. Romine this year. They spon- sored a picture show December 15, in the high school auditorium as an experiment, to get money to help pay for the movie machine. Transatlantic Merry-go-round with Jack Benny was the show, but it didn't go over so well. Their second show January 28, however, was quite a success. This was a double feature. Jack London's Wolf Call was the feature and the second show was Drums Of D6Sfi11y- The line-up of ofiicers for 1941 was as fol10WS2 P1'9SidGH1.

There were other prizes too for the better ones of the show. MARTHA WASHINGTON CLUB The advanced girls of the home economics department have organized the Martha Washington Club. A very interesting program is planned and followed by the girls throughout the year. One of the outstanding features of this year's program was the hobby show held in connection with the Corn Show on March 4. This year, in honor of Martha Washington, for whom the club was named, a banquet was held for mothers and lady teachers. The purpose of the club is to uphold the standards of living, and this is done partly through trips and programs.
